"Reflexiones
Concertantes" was
commissioned by Pat Dixon and funded by Wake Forest University Archie
Grants for Faculty Excellence.

"The most recent work on the record is the concerto for two
guitars and orchestra, Reflexiones Concertantes, Van is joined
by guitarist Patricia Abud Dixon, who commissioned the piece, and the
Carolina Chamber Symphony led by Robert Franz".
"Dixon and Van play here, as elsewhere, with unerring musicality,
robust tone, and good ensemble".
"The sound is exemplary: clean, well balanced, and transparent".
